Service Improvements commencing Sunday 2nd June 2024

Posted:

From Sunday 2nd June 2024 we are pleased to be bringing you improvements across our local bus network, building on the success of our recent enhancements in January and May!

Timetables for all services will be available online in the coming weeks and printed copies will be available soon.

42 Foulsham - Reepham - Felthorpe - Norwich
To improve reliability, the timetable will be adjusted throughout.

A revised route will be introduced in Norwich using Cromer Road Bus Lane instead of Reepham Road to provide a more frequent service to this area of Hellesdon and offering improved links to Norwich Airport and Norwich Airport Industrial Estate. Customers will also benefit from easier connections to our bus services towards the North Norfolk Coast by using Cromer Road Tesco as an interchange point.

43 Reepham - Cawston - Aylsham - Norwich
The frequency of this service will be enhanced including more buses to Reepham. A new later bus will be in operation between Norwich and Aylsham departing the bus station at 20:30.

An improved route will be introduced in Aylsham serving new housing estates at Willow Park, Cawston Road and Norwich Road for Tesco. Burgh Road will still be served by some peak time journeys, but on the whole this area of Aylsham will be served by the new X41 service.

44 Holt - Sheringham
44A Sheringham - Cromer - Aylsham - St Faiths - Norwich
X44 Sheringham - Cromer - Aylsham - Norwich
X40 Sheringham - Cromer direct to Norwich
X41 Sheringham - Cromer - Aylsham direct to Norwich
An enhanced timetable is being introduced offering more frequent buses on these services.

A new X41 service is being introduced running at select times to offer a faster bus from Aylsham to Norwich. On weekends, all X40 journeys will now run as X41.

X40 and X41 will now operate non-stop all week, not calling at Marsham, Hevingham, Stratton Strawless or Hainford A140 stops. These areas will be served more frequently by 44A, X44 and the enhanced 43 service.

Residents in Aylsham will now be benefitting from an approximately half-hourly bus service to and from Norwich all day.

New 18:24 Holt to Sheringham 44 journey added, running for the summer season until 31st October.
